Her breakthrough performance as Marguerite de Valois in Les Huguenots at Bard SummerScape was praised by the New York Times as “formidable.” Ms. Morley has brought what the New York Times has called the “silken clarity of her voice and the needlepoint precision” of her coloratura to the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna Staatsoper, Munich’s Bayerische Staatsoper, and the Opéra National de Paris, the Palau de les Arts in Valencia, Spain, and the Santa Fe Opera. Renowned for her musicality and deft phrasing, she has appeared as a soloist with America’s premiere symphony orchestras, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic.
